AFS California serves foundries and industry suppliers throughout California.  In 2024, the AFS Southern California Chapter merged with the AFS Northern California Chapter.   AFS California meets periodically throughout the year, holding technical, social and educational events.    We also publish a biennial industry directory.  The organization is comprised of both corporate and individual members.  The common link to all is the foundry process and metal casting.   AFS California is controlled by a board of directors which are elected by members of the local chapter at its annual meeting.
